| * nl80211: add power save commandsKalle Valo2010-02-193-12/+145
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had, is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible to enable and disable power save via nl80211. I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it. Basically there were three reasons: Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent. Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and still make sense to users, will be very difficult. Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on. Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this. For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network and other traffic parameters. Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

| * cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action framesJouni Malinen2010-02-155-1/+446
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements a new command to register for action frames that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed in linux-wireless mailing list, adding and removing stations for mesh topologies is not necessary. Since doing it triggers bugs, the sugestion was to simply disable it. Tested using a custom iw command "station new". Works only after using hostapd. "station del" command also works.

| * cfg80211: add regulatory hint disconnect supportLuis R. Rodriguez2010-02-013-3/+212
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new regulatory hint to be used when we know all devices have been disconnected and idle. This can happen when we suspend, for instance. When we disconnect we can no longer assume the same regulatory rules learned from a country IE or beacon hints are applicable so restore regulatory settings to an initial state. Since driver hints are cached on the wiphy that called the hint, those hints are not reproduced onto cfg80211 as the wiphy will respect its own wiphy->regd regardless. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a device has multiple MAC addresses, userspace will need to know about that. Similarly, if it allows the MAC addresses to vary by a bitmask. If a driver exports multiple addresses, it is assumed that it will be able to deal with that many different addresses, which need not necessarily match the ones programmed into the device; if a mask is set then the device should deal addresses within that mask based on an arbitrary "base address". To test it all and show how it is used, add support to hwsim even though it can't actually deal with addresses different from the default.

No AP has been seen in practice that does this though so just drop those country IEs. Additionally it has been noted the first series of country IE channels triplets are specific to the band the AP sends. Propagate the band on which the country IE was found on reject the country IE then if the triplets are ever oustide of the band. Although we now won't process country IE information with multiple band information we leave the intersection work as is as it is technically possible for someone to want to eventually process these type of country IEs with regulatory extensions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Country IEs triplets are getting an extra channel with the current count. This does not affect regulatory because we always took the intersection between what the AP gave and what CRDA believed is correct. This however does fix processing some Country IEs with multiple sequential 2 GHz triplets. Since our parser and the spec mandates all channels be monitonically increasing we would drop the IE after noticing the second triplet begins on a channel already processed. APs that send these type of country IEs seems rare though. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

It also fixes our current implementation which treated country IE triplets with only one channel as one independed regulatory rule even though adjecent rules were also being provided. Without this patch APs which send country IE information with a channel triplet for each individual channel will force cfg80211 to deny HT40 operation as a regulatory rule would have been created independently for each channel and as such configured only for 20 MHz operation. Although 802.11n APs which send country IEs triplets in this fassion are likely rare Benoit reports this against the Ubiquity NanoStation M5, with Country "FR" and HT40 enabled. Since we now have a helper which parses the triplets in intermediate steps we now take care extra care to process padding.

This allows user space applications to get access to IEs from Beacon frames even if we have received Probe Response frames from the BSS. Previously, the IEs from Probe Response frames would have overridden the IEs from Beacon frames. This feature is of somewhat limited use since most protocols include the same (or extended) information in Probe Response frames. However, there are couple of exceptions where the IEs from Beacon frames could be of some use: TIM IE is only included in Beacon frames (and it would be needed to figure out the DTIM period used in the BSS) and at least some implementations of Wireless Provisioning Services seem to include the full IE only in Beacon frames). The new BSS attribute for scan results is added to allow both the IE sets to be delivered. This is done in a way that maintains the previously used behavior for applications that are not aware of the new NL80211_BSS_BEACON_IES attribute.

This change itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting which rates can be used in TX rate control. Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled. The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained (but commented as deprecated) for backwards compatibility with existing RC implementations. Once these implementations have been updated to use the more generic rate_idx_mask, the max_rate_idx value can be removed.

In that case, it may happen that mac80211 tries to report the assoc success to cfg80211, but gets blocked on the wdev lock that is held because the user is requesting the deauth. The result is that we run into a warning. This is mostly harmless, but maybe cause an unexpected event to be sent to userspace; we'd send an assoc success event although userspace was no longer expecting that. To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the race happened and in that case abort processing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add new commands for requesting the driver to remain awake on a specified channel for the specified amount of time (and another command to cancel such an operation). This can be used to implement userspace-controlled off-channel operations, like Public Action frame exchange on another channel than the operation channel. The off-channel operation should behave similarly to scan, i.e. the local station (if associated) moves into power save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel operation to be completed. The duration parameter can be used to request enough time to receive a response from the target station.

| * cfg80211: avoid sending spurious deauth to userspaceJohannes Berg2009-12-221-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before commit ca9034592823e8179511e48a78731f95bfdd766c Author: Holger Schurig <hs4233@mail.mn-solutions.de> Date: Tue Oct 13 13:45:28 2009 +0200 cfg80211: remove warning in deauth case we assumed that drivers never give us spurious deauth frames because they filter them out based on the auth state they keep track of. This turned out to be racy, because userspace might deauth while the AP is also sending a deauth frame, so the warning was removed. However, in that case we should not tell userspace about the AP's frame if it requested deauth "first", where "first" means it came to cfg80211 first.
